summary

Panel explains exactly how to get from zero to a first contribution: finding good first issues on GitHub, submitting documentation fixes (one corrected README earned a release credit), and applying to programs like GSoC/LFX mentorship for paid internships. It covers triage and async collaboration workflows, expectations for maintainer response times (days, not hours), non‑coding roles (localization, marketing, notes), and concrete next steps and links to starter resources.
